Default Mirapex
Mary Frances,
How are you doing on Mirapex? I responded to your question about Mirapex a week or so ago.

Default well
Hey Slumpy,

I am doing fine. Could be better....could use a little more movement
in my right arm and hand.

Thanks so much for asking! I am touched that you even
remembered.

LOL

Mary

Hi I am fed up with Mirapex. I have gained 30 lbs in 4 months. I am trying altenative medicine (accupunture). It has helped a little but I think I will try to get off the Mirapex. I don't believe the positive outweighs the negative.

Default Azilect and weight gain
I have been on Azilect for the last 5 months and have not experienced any weight problems. May I draw your attention to possible Thyroid gland problems. Please ask your MD to run a blood analysis on that.

Default how r u
St. Clair

How's it going for you?
I have been off azilect for quite
some time now. Originally, I lost
2 lbs., but lately I've gained 5 lbs.!
Guess it wasn't the azilect!!!

Did you ever discover what was
causin your weight gain?

Hope you are well.

Mary

Default big time weight gain
I started gaining weight with Mirapex and Elavil, but since adding Azilect the weight gain has been exponential. I am quite willing to accept some of the blame for choosing Cherry Garcia bars over Skinny Cows, but they are too smalll to account for all of the increase. I'm not sure Azilect is helping my PD symptoms.

Cool i'm the same
I haven't gained any weight due to pd meds. I have maintained pretty much the same (over) weight physique since my PD diagnosis.

I will say that while I was web searching and trolling through PD symptoms, I found the ONE symptom I WANTED to get:

"... unexplained weight loss..."

Sheesh - why is it only skinny people get that one? I askd my neuro and she just laughed.

best,

Default Mirapex = pounds
I just put a long post on the Weekly check-in, so here I will merely say that I have added about 25 pounds in three months, and attribute it to Mirapex. And this while still exercising regularly!
